Evidence Based Guidelines Webinar 101: Exome and Genome Sequencing for Pediatric Patients with Congenital Anomalies or Intellectual Disability

Date of Release: June 30, 2022

Expiration Date: June 30, 2024

Credits offered: CME, NSGC Category 2 (Self-report)

Estimate time of completion: 1 hour

Course must be completed by the expiration date

Series Information:

The Evidence-Based Guidelines Webinar Series, supported by the National Coordinating Center for the Regional Genetics Networks (NCC) and ACMG, is a two-part webinar series for each of the ACMG Evidence-Based Guidelines that will provide an overview and application of the evidence-based guideline (101) and then provide a deeper-diver into the evidence used to support the recommendation (201).

Session Description:

Exome and Genome Sequencing for Pediatric Patients with Congenital Anomalies or Intellectual Disability, supported by NCC, join us for a free one-hour webinar that will provide an overview of the systematic-review process, the evidence used in the review process, how the recommendation was determined, and how the guideline can be applied in genetics and non-genetics practice.

Learning Objectives:

 At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:

1. Describe the Systematic Evidence Review (SER) process.
2. Identify two criteria used to determine if a study should be included in the systematic review.
3. Explain two pieces of evidence used to support the recommendation.

Target Audience:

Healthcare Providers (genetics and non-genetics providers)
